Many years ago, I saw a photo of four big brothers standing over their newborn sister as she lay in a bassinet. I remember thinking first how cute the photo was, but mostly how lucky that little girl was to have four big brothers to watch over and protect her. Then I got to experience this in real life with the Powell Family!! Four big brothers and one little sister! Just much older than the little kids I saw in that photo all those years ago. The Powell Family started with Ashley and Alma five years ago. They created a "yours, mine, and ours" family. Both Ashley and Alma brought two boys o ..read more

The one thing that rivals my love for newborns is a toddler full of personality. My recent newborn session brought these two loves of mine together. I had the opportunity to work with a beautiful newborn girl and her totally two and full-blown girly big sister. And of course, their wonderful parents. Two-year-old Adelyn (Addy for short) was such a joy to have in my home studio. She started out a little shy but warmed up quickly and before long was showing me her chatty side. She is a big Disney princess lover and brought one of her fairytale gowns to our session to pose for a few photos. Wit ..read more

Did you know that almost all babies come into the world with their days and nights mixed up? It's true! This happens because when a baby is in the womb, the movement of their mom during the day puts them to sleep and the stillness at night wakes them up. Because of this, baby comes into the world thinking day is night and night is day. Which typically means very little sleep for mom and dad! When I talked to Natalie before our newborn session together, she told me one of her newborns favorite hobbies was keeping her and her husband, Dan, up at night. Ha! It gave me a really good laugh. The n ..read more

Do you remember Anne-Claire and Taron from my recent maternity session? They had their sweet baby boy! They gave him the cutest name: Milo August. He is just the most darling little newborn. He has the perfect amount of wispy, brown hair and he kept opening his eyes and peeking at me during his photos! I was able to capture some cute shots of his dark newborn eyes that pull you in and make you fall in love! Parenthood looks so good on Anne-Claire and Taron! They both fill their individual roles effortlessly and are naturals as parents. Individually they are both amazing, but together they ar ..read more

Pretty in pink! Using lots of whites and pinks and girly props is always so fun for me and the latest newborn in my studio so sweet surrounded by pink and white and wearing headbands and bows! Itzari is the sweetest little newborn. My favorite thing about her is her big, round cheeks that squished so easily under her hands in just about every pose! She was an absolute angel for our session and slept like a tired parent nearly the entire time. Her family is smitten with her for obvious reasons. Her biggest fan is her big brother Jordani. 3 years ago I had the opportunity to take Jordani's newb ..read more

Every parent wants a sidekick. Whether it's a dad with a sidekick daughter, a mom with a sidekick son, or vice versa, parents want their kids to share in the things they love.

His daughter Myla likes to tag along on shed hunts and Casey hopes that his new little boy will grow up to love hunting with him too! Casey has been married to his wife, Annie, for one year, but they are high school sweethearts, so they have been together for a decade! As I mentioned, he loves to hunt! He also enjoys shed hunting and jus ..read more

There is something magical about people who lean into who they are when they choose to have pictures taken. When Anne-Claire reached out to me to take their maternity photos she mentioned that her husband, Taron, is a person that doesn't love photos. What he does love is hats and comfy clothes. To make Taron feel more comfortable, Anne-Claire chose a "cozy" theme for their photos and outfits. My in-home studio made that theme really come together and I was so pleased with the outcome of the session. Anne-Claire and Taron have been together for seven years and married for three. They know each ..read more

When it comes to newborn babies, I have seen all different features. One that often gets talked about it hair. I've seen dark hair, no hair, and peach fuzz, but I'm not sure I have ever seen a baby with more bright white hair as baby Bryson. But his beautiful white hair and light complection work completely in his favor. Bryson's beautifully light complection matches the rest of his family and was actually expected by his parents, Andrew and Amanda. Their 2 year old daughter, Remi has the same fair skin as her little brother. And she has the prettiest blue eyes to compliment her complexion pe ..read more

The Parkinson Family is near and dear to my heart. I've done sessions with them for just about everything including birth announcements, newborn sessions, family sessions, and milestone sessions. This is the second newborn session I have done for them and it has been so fun to watch their family grow over the years! The oldest child in the family, and the only girl, is Ellie!

She is the best big sister and friend to her, now, three little brothers and has assumed the role of second mother nicely! She ma ..read more

Are you a fan of New Girl? If so, you've come to the right place. My recent clients, Paige and Brandon, are huge New Girl fans. They love the show so much that their sweet mini goldendoodle is named Winston after the character from New Girl! An excellent choice in my opinion! Winston the goldendoodle is a beautiful dog! He is loved deeply by his parents and has been spoiled for years because he was the only "kid" in the family. Paige and Brandon have now added a human baby to the family, but Winston will always be a loved member of their family. And he is so excited to be a big brother! Paige ..read more
